SETTE SERIES
Revolutionary Design & Multipurpose Grinding
The Sette Series features our radically redesigned gearbox and burr set in
which the outer ring burr rotates around a stationary cone burr. This design
allows for high-speed grinding – up to 5g per second – as well as minimal
retention of coffee in the system. Most burr grinders utilize a small pathway
through which ground coffee travels. On the Sette, coffee simply falls from
the burrs down into a portafilter or grounds bin. A built-in convertible
device holder allows for convenient change between them. All grinders have an
LCD display and digital timer or scale (270Wi) for precise dose control.
